This book cover image released by Dial Books for Young Readers shows "Marvin Makes Music," a children's book by Marvin Hamlisch and illustrated by Jim Madsen. Hamlisch told his story in an autobiography for adults and was excited to do the same with a children's picture book that now has a bittersweet release after his death at 68. The book, for the Penguin imprint Dial, goes on sale Nov. 8 and includes a one-song CD. It was the first picture book for the composer, who died Monday after a brief illness.
